Construction or Lot Loan

Construction Permanent Loans

A construction permanent loan is a mortgage that funds the construction of a new home. The loan is closed for the total loan amount, and the funds are withdrawn over time based on how much of the home is completed.

Loan features:

  • Available for the construction of your primary residence
  • Fixed rate and ARM* loans
  • Conforming and Jumbo loan amounts available
  • One-time closing, with only one set of closing costs
  • Interest-only payments during construction*

Consider a construction permanent loan if:

  • You are planning to build a new home

Lot Loans

If you've found the perfect lot to build your dream home, but are not quite ready to break ground, a lot loan is your source of funds. The maximum loan amount is $300,000, and you can apply for lots up to ten acres if the property is in a developed, plotted subdivision. Variable term ARM loans are also available.
